     Minutes of the Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees, University of Kentucky, May 1, 1946.


     The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Universi-
ty cf Kentucky met In the Presidentts Office at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday,
May 1, 1946.   The following members were present:  Judge Richard C.
Stoll, Chairman; R. P. Hobson, H. D. Palmore, H. S. Cleveland, and
John C. Everett.   President H. L. Donovan and Comptroller Frank D.
Peterson, Secretary of the Board of Trustees, were also present.


     A. Contract for Construction of Men's Residence Hall.

     The Chairman of the Executive Committee, Judge Stoll, reported
that pursuant to authorization of the Board of Trustees, the contract
for the construction of the Residence Hall for Men, at a cost of
$413,200.00, base bid, and the acceptance of alternates 2, 3 and 4,
had been signed by the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees, attest-
ed to by the Secretary of the Board, and construction of the building
had begun.   The Comptroller reported that contract documents had been
approved by the Attorney General.


     B. Report of the Comptroller.

     The Comptroller submitted a financial report of operations of
the University for the period July 1, 1945, to and including March 30,
1946.   The following analysis was read to the Committee:


                                        April 27, 1946

     President H. L. Donovan
     University of Kentucky
     Lexington, Kentucky

     Dear President Donovan;

          I submit hereto attached the financial report for the
     period ended Larch 30, 1946.

                                Income

          During the first nine months of the fiscal year 88.8%
     of the total budgeted income had been realized.   Apparently
     the Realized Income was in a favorable position on the date
     of the report.   However, there is a possibility that the
     income budgeted for Student Fees will not be realized in full
     by the end of the fiscal year,   During the period covered
     by the report only 55.5% of the estimate of Student Fees
     had been realized.   The original estimates and subsequent
     revising of the Student Fee Aconunts were based upon the idea
     that a large portion of the fees of Veterans under Public Laws
     16 and 346 would be available, due allowance being made for
     the fact that such fees were to be paid in arrears. However,




 




.4



experience has proven that it takes approximately two months
after the close of a quarter to prepare invoices to teet
the requirements of the Veterans Administration and that paY-
mont of the fees is not made until three or four months
after invoices are rendered.   On March 30, 1946, fees of
veterans had been paid through the summer quarter.   The
fees receivable in connection with veterans amounted to ap-
proximately $130,000 on that date.

     State Appropriations were allotted in full on April 1,
1946, In order to realize the entire amount of the appropri-
ations, it is planned to encumber the general appropriations
for the payment of April, May and June salaries.   The bal-
ance of appropriations for Repairs to Buildings and Home
Economics Equipment is to be used to reimburse the College
Revolving Fund in connection with Job Orders.   The balance
of the appropriations for Scientific Laboratory Equipment
and Engineering Equipment is to be used to reimburse the
College Revolving Fund for funds advanced to acquire Surplus
and Excess Government.Property.   Other appropriations have
small balances which will be encumbered before the end of
the year.  No balance of any sizable amount is expected
to revert to the State General Fund.

     Federal Fund Accounts have small unrealized balances
which are expected to be fully realized before the end of the
fiscal year.

     The University has little control over the amount of
income derived through the State Department of Education in
connection with the Smith-Hughes Teaching Act and correspond-
ing State Funds.   A major portion of the estimated income
from this source is expected to be realized.

     Income of Residence Halls amounting to $79,133.17, has
been credited to Clearing Accounts.   This is in process of
being transmitted to the State Treasury. This amount, to-
gether with additional income for April, May and June, should
cause the estimate of Auxiliary income to be fully realized
by the end of the year.

     Other income items are expected to be realized in excess
of the estimates.

     From the standpoint of the total budget, there should be
no large variation between the budget estimate and the total
income realized by the end of the year.


                        Expenditures

     Expenditures and encumbrances recorded during the period
amounted to 71.9% of the Revised Departmental Appropriations.

     An analysis of the appropriation accounts reveals that
several accounts will close the year with balances, which




 





3



    will revert to the unappropriated surplus of the University
    Current General Fund.   It was also apparent that a few ap-
    propriations should be revised to provide for expenditures
    not anticipated in the original budgets and subsequent re-
    visions.

         The unprecedented enrollment at the registration for
    the Spring Quarter has caused an increase in the expenditures
    of certain of the Administration and General Expense Accounts.
    There has also been an increase in the expenditures of the
    iiaintenance and Operations Division. The current rate of
    expenditures being charged to these accounts cannot be main-
    tained without overdrafts resulting.

         The expenditures charged to the College Budgets and
    Auxiliary Enterprises fall below the budgeted requirements.
    These accounts should complete the year with small credit
    balances.

          The Experiment Station has submitted a revised budget
    which had not been recorded on 11arch 30, 1946.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                         Frank D. Peterson
                                         Comptroller



     The financial statements were examined by the Committee and the
following action was taken:



            - 1. Upon motion duly madet seconded and carried,
                 the report was ordered received and filed.





     C. Budget Additions Authorized.

     President Donovan stated that it was necessary from time to time
to authorize various additions to departmental budgets,    These addi-
tions are required to handle the increased work of the departments,
primarily due to the increased enrollment of the University, and
necessary to provide funds for returhing staff members from leaves of
absence.   He read a list of recommended increases and asked for the
approval of tho Executive Committee,

     The Committee heard the recommendation of the President and took
the following action:

              2. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried,
                 the budget increases, as recommended, are
                 authorized, the Comptroller is directed to
                 transfer the amounts from the unappropriated
                 surplus of the general University budget, and
                 the list of increases is ordered filed with
                 the Secretary of the Committee.




     D, Sale of Dormitory Revenue Bonds,

     It was stated that the Board of Trustees, at its meeting April
2, 1946, authorized the issuance of $430,000 Dormitory Revenue Bonds
of 1946, the funds to be used for the construction of a residence hall
for men.   The resolution adopted at that meeting was approved by the
Attorney General, as set forth in the following letter:


                      Commonwealth of Kentucky

                   OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

                               Frankfort

                            March 23, 1946


     Mr. Frank D. Peterson
     Comptroller
     University of Kentucky
     Lexington, Kentucky

     Dear Sir:

          Pursuant to your request, this office has considered the
     resolution of the Board of Trustees of the University of Ken-
     tucky proposing the issuance and sale of Dormitory Revenue
     Bonds.

          The Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky is
     granted the authority for the issuance of such bonds for the
     purpose indicated by Sections 162.350 through 162.380 KRS.

          A study of the resolution of the Board of Trustees and
     of the proposed bond reflect very few irregularities.    Inas-
     much as the governing body of the University is tge Board of
     Trustees the references throughout the resolution and the
     bond of 4University of Kentucky by its Board of TrusteesW
     or similar expressions should be "the Board of Trustees of
     the University of Kentucky,"   I have indicated on Pages




 








5



     3, 6i 10 and 12 of the resolution the places where the
     change should be made4

          The first paragraph on Page 9 of the resolution pro-
     vides that all moneys held in the bond fund or as a reserve
     for contingencies shall be deposited in a bank which is a
     member of the Federal Reserve System and of the Federal De-
     posit Insurance Cprporation.   Quxestion has been raised as to
     the right of the institution to dposit the money in a bank
     and not deposit it with the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of
     Kentucky,   The revenues from the sale of these bonds are
     placed in a special fund which does not become a part of the
     general revenue of the state of Kentucky, but is a special
     fund set apart for the construction of the dormitory, The
     revenues from the use of the dormitory are likewise not
     funds of the state, but are funds earmarked and set aside
     for the redemption of revenue bonds.   As such, it is not
     state revenue and need not be placed in the Treasury of the
     Commonwealth of Kentucky, but may be placed in a bank as
     provided by this section.

          We call your attention to the case of J. D. Van Hooser
     & Co. v. University of Kentucky, 262 Ky. 581, wherein the
     Court of Appeals had before it for its consideration a similar
     bond issue from the University of Kentucky.    The Court of
     Appeals approved the issue there; and that before, being
     similar to that considered by the Court of Appeals, meets all
     the requirements of the statute, and, subject to the above-
     mentioned changes, are in proper legal form.

                                       Yours very truly,

                                       (Signed) Eldon S. Dummit

                                               Eldon S. Dummit
                                               Attorney General

    It was stated that the changes in the resolution recommended in
the Attorney Generalls letter were made, and the resolution adopted
by the Board of Trustees at its meeting April 2, 1946, contained those
changres. The Comptroller reported that, pursuant to direction of the
Board of Trustees on April 2, 1946, he had caused the following ad-
vertisement to appear in the Louisville Times and the Courier-Journal,
Louisville, Kentucky; and in the Bond Buyer, a national publication
issued weekly, and the Daily Bond Buyer, a national publication,

    will be relieved of the obligation to accept delivery and the
    deposited check will be returned on request.

Gentlehen:

     We enclose data concerning the proposed issue of
$430,000.00 University of Kentucky Dormitory fevenue Bonds
of 1946 on which the Board of Trustees of the University
will accept sealed proposals at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard
Daylight Saving Time, May 1, 1946.

    We wish to correct one error contained in this informa-
tion.  On the page headed "Bonded Indebtedness of the Uni_
versity of Kentucky" we make the statement that the bonded
indebtedness of the University is $938,000.00 less than the
maximum eight years ago.   That is not correct, as a careful
examination of the figures on that page will show. You will
note that to retire a like amount of bonds, $507,000.00 of
refunding bonds were issued last year bearing interest
1_3/4%.

     Further, the proposed $430 000.00 bond issue is call-
able from time to time in part "in the inverse order of
their numbering", on any interest payment date, etc.

     The legal opinion of Messrs. Chapman & Cutler, Chicago,
Illinois, will be furnished to the successful bidder.


                               Very truly yours,


                                   Frank D. Peterson

                       NEED FOR THIS BUILDING

     As against an average pre-war fall term enrollment of thirty-five
hundred, the present spring quarter enrollment is 4,273. The fall en-
rollment for 1946-47 is estimated to reach six thousand, if housing
foccilities can be found within the City of Lexington, or made available
through other sources by the University. It is estimated by the
administration of the University that the enrollment will exceed five
thousand for many years to come, and will reach and be maintained at
six thousand when housing accommodations can be provided. At the
drescnt time, the University owns and operates three residence halls
for min, normally housing three hundred and thirty students; we are
now housing three hundred and ninety-four in those dormitories. In
normal years, the ratio of men students to women students has been
approximately two to one.  This new dormitory will house men students
and provide recreational and social accommodations for men students
housed in all dormitories for man.

                 SOURCES OF REVENUE FOR RETIRING BONDS

     It is contemplated thr.-t one hundred and. cight men students will
be housed in the proposed residence hall, from which rental income in
excess of seventeen thousand dollars will be derived. The room rental
will be approximately forty dollars pcr ousi'ter per student, collected
each quarter in advance at the time the student registers in the
University. No student is allowed to occupy a room in the dormitory
until his room rent has been paid. The University opert.tes on a four
quarter systcm, therefore the residence halls will be in operation
during the entire year. This housing rental of forty dollars per
quarter is substantially below normal rent rates for housing facili-
ties obtainable from private sources in Lexington. The basement level
floor, and the ground floor in the proposed building will care for
recreational and social needs for students living in all existing men's
residence halls; it will provide for a coffee shop, administrative
offices, director's apartment, etc., which facilities will be leased
directly to the Univcrsity and paid for from income derived from
rental of dormitory facilities to other men students. The income
from this source will not bc less than sixtcen thousand dollars per
year, making a total annual income in excess of thirty-three thousand
dollars.  The total expense of operating the new men's residence hall
will not oxceod ten thousand dollars pcr ennum, allowing for bond
interest and principle retirement an amount in excess of twenty-three
thousand dollars annually as against maximum debt service charges in
any one year of twenty thousand five hundred dollars, Thus the new
dormitory will be self supporting.                       I

     Contract for the erection of the proposed Residence Hall for Men
has been let on a firm competitive bid of $418,000.00 awardEd to the
Hargett Construction Company of Lexington, Kentucky. The contract
has been authorized by the Board of Trustees and executed and perform-
ance bond riven by the contractor.  A work order for commencing actual
construction has been issued. Actual construction will start Immediate-
ly and contract provides that the construction will be completed within
a period of 245 calendar days.
